Making an investment in how we lead our children during their early years of development (from birth to early pubescence) can make navigating those early years a little less stressful, and ultimately provide a strongly rooted foundation from which to “fly away” on their own as they grow into adulthood.

Take the Parenting Struggle Assessment

“The secret of parenting is not in what a parent does but rather who the parent is to a child”

Gordon Neufeld, Ph.D.

What you believe to be true, impacts how you parent.

I believe true happiness is felt when we are connected to our unique self and are pursuing something interesting.

I believe humans by nature seek emotional attachment; children need their parents to be emotionally available and to seek to be the child’s primary point of emotional attachment during the stormy seas of growing-up.

I believe every individual is born biologically wired to be unique. Our responsibility as parents, educators, and members of society is to provide environments, experiences, and opportunities where a child can discover: who they are, what interests them, and how they learn.

As a parent, have you taken time to assess your strongly held beliefs about how a child should be raised?

Why Mentoring?

Raising children is emotionally draining. Let’s face it, they don’t come with instructions, and each one requires a different approach.

Mentoring offers you the flexability and individual attention that your family deserves. Just as each child is unique, mentoring approaches your particular circumstances from an individualized perspecitive, focusing on your families distinct challenges and opportunities. I’ll help you discover how to re-frame your parenting frustrations to gain a better understanding of your child while reducing stress in your home and the emotional drain on the whole familly.

The Olson Method

We don’t come with manuals. But, “behavior is a messenger” communicating information about the unique and individual biology of the child as well as the child’s overall well being. Understanding the “why” of the behavior opens doors of understanding reducing stress, transforming the parent-child relationship.

Biological, environmental, experiential, and other factors impact the way a child behaves, and ultimately learn to cope with the people, places, and experiences around them.

Communication in words and actions is a two-way street. How we respond to our child’s behaviors is influenced by our own experiences and beliefs.

Observant Listener

Page is skilled at observing and understanding children, seeing what parents don’t yet see. For over two decades, she has mentored children using a combination of intuitive gifts, investigative skills, and astute behavior observations. She also mentored the parents in how to interpret their child’s behaviors transforming the parent-child relationship.

Over three decades ago, as a young adult, she started observing “behaviors as a messenger” when she began to ride and work with horses, this breakthrough understanding served her well when she began working with children. With her own children, she saw patterns of behaviors that communicated the child’s core temperament and inner emotions leading to constructive and emotionally available ways of parenting.

Prior to children, Page had a 13-year professional career in the emergency medical and medico-legal investigative fields before taking several years as a stay-at-home mom.

For her work with cub scouts, she was awarded the prestigious District Award of Merit. In 2016, she co-authored an Amazon best-selling collaborative book, “Success Manifesto,” featuring Brian Tracy.

Page also has developed expertise in homeschooling from a cosmopolitan perspective. And she has a personal perspective on being dyslexic advantaged, being dyslexic herself and raising a dyslexic child.

Page Olson is an Inspirational Speaker, Author, and Parent-child Relationship Mentor based in the Pacific Northwest.
